But can they join if they are outside of the rating range?
SUGGESTION for Chess.Com: Tournament Invites
Sort:
No. Sometimes, after joining, their rating changes and there they sit, but they can not join while their rating is out of the range.

Well then only members of the correct rating will compete and I fail to see the problem here.
Steve, yes, and also, I get complaints from those who were invited who can not play. It is an annoyance to them to receive the invitation to something they can't participate in.
I have personally solved the problem by doing tournaments in bulks, providing links to like tournaments, so even if they can't join, they have links to ones that they can. I will post an example:
There are like tournaments for every rating range!

You use up all your allowed invites,on people who can't play.
oh there's a limit for that.
It would be nice of chess.com could "filter" out invites sent for tournaments according to ratings. I have a group of about 800 members and if I use the "group invite" option, all members get invited, even when they are outside of the tournament's rating range. This is an annoyance to many.
